Chapter 1856 - Untalented (3) (1/2)
Dyon wanted Fara's research not just because of the cloning possibilities, but mostly for its medicinal capabilities. Theoretically, regrowing a limb, or surviving a fatal injury, would be possible if this research is pushed in the right direction. Dyon's mortal world had the final building block Fara needed.
If Dyon's Demon Generals went into battle with stores of their own stem cells, they'd practically be immortal on the battlefield as long as they weren't killed in a single strike. Using stem cells would making any healing even Holy type qi could accomplish far more efficient. It could make a single unit of energy go a much longer way.
”… We've succeeded in reconstructing bodies many times before, but it was only possible by harvesting life units directly after conception. Of course, we only moved when the life of the child wouldn't be in danger, but we felt that this restraint was too limiting.
”If we're forced to only being capable of harvesting imm.a.t.u.r.e life units in such a short time frame, it's impossible to reach the long-term goals we seek…”
Dyon nodded. ”My world has a method of turning m.a.t.u.r.e life units into imm.a.t.u.r.e life units. If you'd like to continue your research… I'm sure you know what my ask is.”
Fara felt a suffocating weight drop from the sky, it was the very same weight many of the other researchers had felt when Dyon spoke of their findings.
”Though… I don't want you to reconstruct bodies, I only want to use your research in the field of healing. Though the idea of extending one's life indefinitely is appealing, there's a limit to what a soul can handle. There's a reason why even transcendents cannot live forever. If one's mind collapses, it doesn't matter how good the condition of your body is.”
Fara lowered his head and nodded in understanding. At the end of the day, his research was only useful for those whose souls had broken into the celestial realm. If yours hadn't, you'd never be able to move from one body to the next. And, even if it had, if your mind was collapsing, it was useless.
In addition, another thing Fara hadn't mentioned that Lyla silently told Dyon was that this second body would have far less potential than the first. Namely, the lifespan would be incredibly shortened to a tenth of what it once was. And this shrinking would stack as well… Simply put, Fara's methods weren't as good as the cloning technique Dyon received from the valley of geniuses.
One relied on the power of the Heavens, while the other tried to circ.u.mvent and fool the Heavens. This was to be expected. The Heavens were quite petty in that way.
Still, Dyon wasn't disappointed. If Fara's research was combined with Kline and Curie's DNA research, his path to revitalizing the celestial hamster and dream panther races was right before him.
There might be a limit to building a new body for yourself to cheat death, but what if you instead used stem cells to reconstruct your original body itself? The possibilities were endless.
Dyon kept these thoughts to himself. For now, it was necessary to rein in the researchers properly.
”The last is Researcher Lind, her research is focused on the potential. She wants to understand what potential is, what it's decided by, and how to potentially increase it. Whether that's by nutrition, training, or anything of the like.
”She theorizes that environment is far more important than one's genes. Her dream is to create an easy, simple program, that can be implemented by anyone, anywhere, to bring out the full potential of individuals.”
Dyon's brows raised. Lind's goal seemed similar to Kline's who wanted to pass down human knowledge through one's DNA. But, her approach was far different and quite commendable.
